NEW YORK (AP) — A former aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who is now running for Manhattan borough president accused him of sexual harassment in a series of tweets Sunday, saying he made inappropriate comments about her appearance.
Lindsey Boylan tweeted that the Democratic governor “sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched.”
“I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years," she continued.
Boylan, 36, worked for the Cuomo administration from March 2015 to October 2018, serving first as executive vice president of Empire State Development, and then as a special adviser to Cuomo for economic development.
She did not provide details of the alleged harassment and didn't immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press. Boylan later tweeted, “To be clear: I have no interest in talking to journalists. I am about validating the experience of countless women and making sure abuse stops.”
Messages seeking comment were left with spokespeople for Cuomo.
Boylan’s sexual harassment allegation against Cuomo comes after The Associated Press and others reported that the 63-year-old governor is under consideration for the job of attorney general in the administration of President-elect Joe Biden.
Earlier this month, Boylan had also tweeted about her work experience in the Cuomo administration, listing it as the worst job she ever had.
“I tried to quit three times before it stuck. I’ve worked hard my whole life. Hustled - fake it till you make it style,” she wrote. “That environment is beyond toxic. I’m still unwrapping it years later in therapy!”

Call me when we have a crime and a conviction.
It was that way “for years?”
What the hell is wrong with these people? Was she not paying attention during orientation? Especially in a state government job.
Its not like she couldn’t get a job somewhere else. Its not like she is an over 55 white male.
Love to see that scumbag Cuomo locked up in a cell next to that POS Weinstein.
Remarks about her appearance? What if Cuomo said, say, that he liked her new haircut? I don’t like Andrew Cuomo, and I’d bet he’s kind of a creep to work for...but this story is sketchy.
Does he get nobel peace prize for this or-some award. Im sorry but see what happens to all of us when no one is held accountable for their actions. We all get cynical and its easy to do because there is no law
Well, that’s seals it!
Gowno Cuomo certainly qualifies now for a position in the Biden administration…
BELIEVE ALL VICTIMS!!!
Isn’t this the one that was married to Kerry Kennedy Cuomo? I always said he fit right in with the Kennedy family.
